BOOOOOOOOOOO

Happy Halloween to all of you that celebrate this holiday- I hope you all have TONS of fun!! And I'm having a hell of a day too- LOL, It's the last day of the month and our service provider just can't handle the traffic! So most of us in South Africa have named them 'aptly' HELLKOM (*Telkom*)- hahahaLOL- So this is just a little ', chatty-laugh with me ' posting as I can't upload the freebie to 4shared(it crashes all the time) and I can't get blogger to upload any 'LO's or previews'- hahahahaha-

Bunny had a wonderful story about her daughter on her blog ( you know the feeling being in a POSH resturant and you DIE of embarrasment)- * you got to go read it people* ROTFLMAO!!!-

Well it reminded me of myself when I was just 17 ( eek that's years ago-LOL) But I was still 'wet behind' the ears so to speak-

I had been invited by a guy a little older than myself (best friends -friend) to his OFFICIAL NAVAL dinner- UHUM, I was told I had to wear a LONG dress down to my ankles!!- WHAT- this was the 80's for goodness sakes! LOL- we wore MINI's!! hahahaha-

My BEST friend at the time was also going with her boyfriend- but both of us came from family's that weren't well off and battled each month to make ends meet- so there was NO WAYS we could buy a dress- hence the word BORROW!!!- OH gee's, The smartest dress I eventually found was a 3/4 length one ( first mistake-LOL) with tiny buttons going down all the way from the neck to the hem!

We get to the 'DO' and let me tell you- the Queen could have fitted in with these lady's- LOL
And there standing out like pimples on a pigs ass in 3/4 dresses is CLaire and myself! hahahahaha- We got the *LOOKS* and the *Where is your long dress young lady* questions!! hahahahaha and I swear- I was as nervous a hell as it was- and they sure didn't make it easier!!! LOL

We are served a sherry to start (* OH boy- I had never really drunk alcohol at that age either*) and sip it down like cooldrink- Ushered to our seats- We are seated in a U shape- and funny enough I land up facing poor Claire- BUT OH LORDY- as I sit down ALL the little buttons on my dress around my ASS area go POP!!!!(4 of them) ROTFLMAO- I swear- My eye's go huge and I stare at Claire and now get the giggles- and the more looks I get from the 'ladies' and the naval officers ( UHUM including the ADMIRAL!)- the more I want to laugh! So now I'm STUCK in my chair- and they serve MORE Wine!!!! And that's not ALL-

I was told before we went that you do not scoop your peas on your fork- you have to squash them neatly on the back of the fork and then lift them to your mouth!- OK, so what do we get with the main meal- PEAS!! I remember what I was told and try very lady- like to push my peas on my fork- OOOPPPPS- they land up in the old ladies plate NEXT to me!!! PIMP- by now we have been served more wine and I just can't contain the giggles! Claire is red in the face as she try's hard not to laugh! I NOW HAVE TO GET TO THE TOILET- yeah with my ASS sticking out- so take my napkin and use it sort of as a 'backside coverer'- ROTF!!! Never found a pin in there either!! ROTF
Fast forward to dessert- CLAIRE manages to drop all her chocolate sauce from her spoon down the front of her white dress! And of course with her sitting opposite me it was just toooo much- I cracked! I laughed out loud that the whole place stopped and looked at me! * I seem to do that sometimes*- hahahahahaha- cuase you just don't DO that in a 'quiet refined' dinner!! never the less- I never ever heard back from that young man again! LOL- I wonder why??_ hahahahahahahahahahahahah

Hope you all have a stunning day and remember to visit all the HUMPDAY HUNNIES today for some AWESOME halloween freebies! Kristine's is a good starting point- follow her links to the rest of the designers.
Tomorrow my internet should be back to normal!! Thank goodness- so please check through all my September freebies- I will be removing them tomorrow too- Sending hugs and loves Kim

Had hospital duty this morning which was CHAOS today- FULL and well one of our lady's had a knee op so we were one volunteer short- but we managed- it just took longer than expected. My poor dog has an ear infection so now he runs a mile when he see's me- hahaha, I have to put the drops in his ear and well I usually bribe him to get him close then hold and grip him tight and put the 'drops in'- now it's more difficult- he's got WISE- now I have to do a RUN to catch him- hahahaha- Oh gee's, fun for him(he's only a year old!)- not for me- hahahahaha.

Well I know it's holloween for most tomorrow(right??-LOL) and I know everyone is handing out halloween freebies too- but I had to do one - LOL. I made two cluster frames and used the ' SPOOKY SPOILS DSO MEGA KIT' colours so that this little freebie co-ordinates with it. Thanks to Bunny for her bow template and the Mega kit papers for the preview. Well that's it for now- LOL, phew- hahaha- sending hugs and loves Kim http://www.4shared.com/file/27812708/a6d64667/kb-spookyclusters.html- LOL, that was nearly a I forgot again!!! hahahahahahaha

A Special Thank You

Monday!! YUGH- hahahahaLOL, were did the weekend go- sure it was here a few hours ago!!

Yeah I got a surprise coming! And it's BIG!! hee hee- But will let you all know closer to the time-


And Wayne is game!!- ROTFLMAO- it only took the whole of Saturday to convince him! And he eventually said- what the hell-OK! hahahaha- My friend that works at our local Casino here is getting me a Pucker chefs hat and the big wrap around apron- so it won't be all that revealing- more like 'use your imagination' revealing- hahahahaha (* well that's what I told Wayne-hahahahahahahaha*). AND AND AND- I must tell you all- I got a phone call on Friday night- FROM BUNNY!!!! I swear, I just about fell out of my chair!- Bunny THANK YOU- I loved hearing your 'sing song' voice on the phone and just THANK GOODNESS it was your international call NOT MINE- ROTFLMAO! I got so excited I was mixing in our local slang as I spoke and poor Bunny would say- sorry- you lost me- hahahahahahaha, And I had to repeat what I meant in English-When we ended the call- I ran through the house like a kid on Christmas with a HUGE grin shouting- that was Bunny, that was Bunny-LOL. Thanks girl- it meant a LOT! MWAH


Today is a SPECIAL day too- and I have someone very close to my heart who would like to THANK EACH and EVERYONE of you for all her prayers!


Jazz- (as we all know her)- or Linda (as you will all know from that special kit I made) is making a BIG recovery!!! She's still re-couping but is BACK!


Here is a letter from Jazzy in her own words-


Friends:


Last night Kim sent me the link to the comments from the day shemade the Just Linda mini kit and asked for prayers for me here..I was overwhelmed and so touched at the number of downloads (Over 3700)and the 399 comments to me..there are no words to express my feel-ings..Thank You seems like such a small thing to say for the greatblessings you bring to me...I know that without all of your payers I would not have made it this time....The kit is beautiful and the card also..I printed it and will cherish it always..when I am depressed all I will have to do is go and read all your wonderful comments and know how blessed I am to be a part of a community of such caring and loving people..


Jazz has used her OWN kit(Just Linda) here to make this gorgeous LO-




Jazz let me tell you- I couldn't WAIT to see YOU use this kit- because then I would KNOW that you were 'back'!! Thank you and I would like to take this little moment here to THANK EVERYONE TOO- for adding those little prayers with your download- because through all of them- Jazz is here today- and I thank you from the bottom of my heart!


And I asked Jazzy if I could make her LO into a template for you guys-

So here it is- the Just Linda-template. Love ya Jazzy! http://www.4shared.com/file/27710652/61e94b55/kb-JustLinda-Template.html - and if you missed the Just Linda kit- here is the link for you too. http://www.4shared.com/file/23926988/9340fb54/kb-JustLinda.html Until tomorrow- Hugs and Loves Kim

Fabbo Friday

What you got planned this weekend??- Well after last weekends 'celebrations' and next weekends big party *Uhum, yeah there's one LOL* I'm taking it EASY this weekend! I'm going to just spend some time outside in the sun, try read a bit(WAHAHAHA- laughing myself here!)- and just CHILL! hahahahaha. I do have a 'outfit-costume' to figure out for next weekend- it's a 'dress up'- and well we don't really celebrate Halloween here but I suppose the party would be in the same lines! *funny or scary*?- hahaha- I had a great idea for hubby but I don't think he'll have the *guts* to do/wear it though-hahaha, Said he could go as "Good enough to eat"- LOL- did I loose you?-hahaha, *little History*- Hubby LOVES to cook and play in the kitchen- and my friends and I always tease him and say he would be ' even better' in it if he just wore an apron- you know with nothing on underneath- ROTFLMAO- *getting a picture here?*, (like those wonderful hospital gowns-LOL), Well with a chefs hat and just a 'chefs' apron and a pair of tight Jockey boxers underneath and the words *good enough to eat* painted on the front- I think it would be a hit-hahahahaha ( and yeah-Lucky enough Wayne has a VERY TIGHT TOUSHIE-TV advert TIGHT!!)- HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Oh Gee's he's going to kill me AGAIN- hahahaha- So if you guys have got any other ideas( and you know I like CLEVER-hahaha let me know)

Silvia made this AWESOME blinkie and I would like to hand it back out today-*will keep it short and sweet*

SILVIA- I am returning this blinkie to YOU- girl you are the BOMB!! Loves ya tons!
JENNI and BONNIE - Well here comes trouble-LOL. Two South African "bokkies" who are sisters! Both have AMAZING inspirational blogs as well as being 'great supporters'- to SA, to the digiscrap community and to me! YOUR THE BOMB guys! Hope you are having a wonderful weekend together! BE GOOD- yeah right! hahahaha
RUTHIE- for your inspiration and your 'big warm hearted' way of 'giving back sooo much' to the digital community- I think YOU'RE a BOMB!!
And I know this person does not have a blog- and I know she has recieved a few awards too- but OLGA- I just want to tell you that YOU ARE THE BOMB! There is not ONE day that you don't leave me a comment and I look forward to them daily! I thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Well Renee sent me some of her Rugby Lo's and let me tell you SA is still celebrating- the boys are back in the country and the 'excitement' is still in the air-

She used my BUG-ING kit paper and the 'weathered cluster freebie'- But I WANT THAT SHIRT DAMMIT !!! LOL, You know that the rugby team is actually called the Springboks( a South African buck) but we all call them the BOKKE ( Afrikaans for Buck)- and that shirt say's I'm a BOKKIE- which cleverly means "I'm a CHICK"- hahahahahaLOL. See -I love 'clever'- LOL.

And here comes mine- it's the first in the 'series'- I even made myself a new blinkie from it too


Just loved the 'line of green shirts'- hahahaha- Also used my BUG-ING papers and the colours of our National flag. And of course I made the freebie today from it too.

Been wanting to do a 'full lanscape' photo LO for a while now and this one suited it perfectly- Add your own elements and titles ect- but at least it's easier with the template-hahahaha( well I hope so). http://www.4shared.com/file/27473188/2abce263/kb-proudly-Template.html I hope you all have a FABULOUSO weekend and I'll chat on Monday again. Sending hugs and Loves Kim

Where has the day gone

I'm telling you- I looked at the clock and it's after 1pm already!! hahahaha- The day is half gone ! It's been a mixed up day again with Wayne (my DH) arriving from Johannesburg only this morning (had to spend the night there due to missing last flight out-LOL)- So I didn't sleep very soundly as it's the first time in almost 2 years that he hasn't been home overnight! And our wonderful Cat has now found a new playground- the ROOF! So the whole night I woke up *swearing* at the cat as she ran around after who knows what-but it sounded like something was going to drop through the ceiling any minute!! hahahaha-LOL, And I had to take Nathan to school too-(hahahahaha- normally Waynes job)- and let me tell you I'm NOT the prettiest thing in the morning!! -LOL, I just jumped in the shower- put some lipstick on and covered the eyes with sunglasses! Jumped in the car looking like a drowned rat and off we went- and all we said the WHOLE trip there was*silence* and then -Bye, bye- see you later-LOL. Both my poor son and I don't talk much first thing in the morning and without Waynes morning yabber it was a very 'quiet' affair here this morning with a few 'grunts' for words-ROTF> An old friend popped in for coffee too and has just left- so I'm full of caffeine and have done bugger all else! hahahahahaha


Renee my SA counterpart and CT member sent me this AWESOME LO of her Boyfriends daughter-
She used my Bling it kit- and the Shelbz Flutter background paper- And another great SA counterpart and scrapper/designer Jenni sent me this STUNNING LO of her son and she used my Bug-Ing kit with a few other extra's.




Now if you have never been to Jenni's site before- The Chaos Lounge- do yourself a favour and pop on over- she has a BRILLIANT set of doodle blooms up for grabs and some rugby photo's put up just for me-ROTF!!!! Thanks girlfriend! And yeah-mine are coming I promise!! hahaha

Mrs Miles asked me to show her some photo's of my MIL and I doing our 'volunteer' work at our local provincial goverment hospital- well here we go Barb- these were taken in the kitchen where we 'make and pour' soup and coffee into those cups then run backwards and forwards through the hospital and back again to refill the trays. Good excersise I tell you-LOL.



Template(revised) by Stella-Digiscrap.ch

The whole 'Volunteer project' is called Operation Smile and it is run through all the different churches here in Port Elizabeth. Each day of the week is allocated to a different Church group and we have been doing it for over 6 years now. The bread and soup etc is donated from different Supermarkets and Churches too. At Christmas time all the 'childrens homes' and underprivilaged kids get Christmas Parcels and presents with parties too. People staying in Hospital get nighty's and blankets etc. ( this is a goverment hospital with NO funding!) And yes I make sure we are heard coming through the corridors- LOL.

So I named the stuff I made for the LO- Operation Smile- hahahaha, It's one paper and the denim wrapped star with a glitter dot star and denim button with seperate stitch. Hope you have fun with it-http://www.4shared.com/file/27379600/9b492600/kb-operationsmile.html And YAY- tomorrows Friday!!! YIPPPEEE, hahahaLOL. Sending hugs and Loves Kim

Just a HUGE thank you for your messages to Nathan yesterday- I told 'Bunny'- that no matter how old they get they will always be your 'babies' when they are sick and helpless!

WORLD CHAMPIONS!!!

WE WON WE WON WE WON!!! Oh My WORD!!! What a weekend! LOL- and yeah I'm sitting here today not as strong as I usually am-hahahaha, my mouth still feels like the bottom of a bird cage - and I'm a little stiff ( was DORK dancing my ass off!) But the feeling of "a nation joined as one" is something I can't describe! There were no 'race' issues- we were all just South Africans pulling together for the 'heart and pride' of our country!!! We had our National flags flying from poles outside our house, everyone that arrived was wearing the National green and gold rugby jerseys, we had green shooters(OOOH tooo many of those!hahahaLOL) , a traditional braai (not that many people ate by then-lol), and ONE England supporter in our midst!LOL, We watched the match in our lounge all huddled together screaming and shouting and biting nails! You could have cut the tension with a knife!! I had grown men SOBBING on my shoulder, hysterical screams from my friends and laughter when they blew the final whistle!!!! It is so difficult to describe just how PROUD and how eleated we were for South Africa and our Rugby boys!!!! CONGRATULATIONS BOKKE!!! We are not only bringing home the cup, but MY HERO-Bryan Habana won IRB Player of the year too. Jake White won coach of the year, we broke all records too!!! SO PROUD AM I!!!-LOL

Thank you soo soo much for this and for the FAR toooo kind words on your blog yesterday- It really made my evening- and the best was when Wayne got home I blurted out that I had just been called "Da Bomb" today- He like stopped in his tracks with the eye's that sort of go narrow and squinty and say's "BY WHO????" - ROTFLMAO- Oh Silvia I had such a laugh- when I said it was you- he just relaxes and goes "Oh that's cool"- hahahaha, MEN!!!

Tired Wednesday

LOL- yeah it's one of my 'quiet' days today- did not sleep well last night- And trust me- I'm a real grouch when I haven't had enough sleep- OK OK, LOL, not really but I do become quiet-hahaha. Our dogs * which UHUM sleep inside*- were barking the whole night! Not sure if it was a cat in the garden or some *other* unwanted guests taking a peak- but whatever it was -it sure made them restless and in turn made me a little 'weary'-in both sense of the word-LOL.

So after running to the school now now and to the shops- I'm hitting my big soft pillow for an hour or two!!! ROTF- that's something I don't do often, but oh man I can hear it already-* kim, kim, kim- it's the bed calling my name I tell you*

Bunny hope you had a great day at the SPA yesterday?- gee's what I wouldn't do for a day like that TODAY!-hee hee
So to make up for my lack of chatter today- I'm leaving you with this little "giggle"- which I have to tell you tickles my funny bone! Especially after last NIGHT!!!- hahahahaha.



Ok- sorry if it offends some- but I still laugh when I see it! LOL- feeling better already- hahahaha. I made a few leaves to go with my Bug-ing kit and had them as extras- so I added a few more so that you could play with them too.

They have doodled glitter outlines to match the Bug-ing kit- grab them here and I will be back tomorrow full of the beans! hahahaha- http://www.4shared.com/file/26683329/cd3fd37f/kb-Just_leaves.html Thank you to Olivia Dorazio for the leaf shapes. Hugs and Loves Kim

Fantastic Fabulous FRIDAY!

It's GORGEOUS outside today!! Yippeeeeeeee, maybe that "bergs" gone past and taken the *chill* with it! I'm in a *summery good* mood today- you know that 'alive feeling??"- hahahaha. And I have so much to share here today- so grab your coffee- or your drink ( depending on what time of the day it is-hahahaLOL). My son is having his end of the year prize giving tonight ( which we were not invited too-LOL) * their hall is small so they invite parents by lucky draw system*- but anyway- the point is- he is getting 3 prizes!!! I am such a PROUD mother I tell you! For a teen who is 16 and hasn't given me any problems to still come home with 3 academic prizes too is well * motherly head swelling with pride*!!! He is no *nerd* by a long shot- LOL, but he keeps up with his school work before 'play' and I am just sooo proud of him!

I took time out this morning to go and have a French Manicure done- hee hee, I'm going OUT tonight!!! YAY- so after reading that Bunny made the effort to *pluck*- I decided to make the effort and have my nails done!! I feel like a lady- don't act like one most of the time but I feel like one now- hahahahaha.
And talking of Bunny(aka the Boss)- she has been teasing me about our local language which you use a lot of 'clicking and clucking' but she has never heard it before- and as with yesterdays little video this is also a Vodacom advert ( which is my fav on TV at the moment-LOL).

A little History to understand it- A few years back a South African (Jamie Uys) made a local movie called The Gods Must be Crazy- A tribe of bushmen living in the Kalahari Desert find their peaceful, happy existence threatened when a Coca-Cola bottle falls from the sky. The natives squabble over ownership of the mysterious item, which they believe to be a gift from the gods. Hoping to restore order, one tribesman is elected to return the bottle by journeying to the ends of the earth, which brings him into contact with modern civilization and very funny outcomes!
This Advert used that 'theme' as you will see and the *boys* in the plane are Our South African Rugby Team Players!!! hahahaha. cluck click click Bunny Wunny!

And of COURSE I HAD TO PUT IT HERE TODAY- CAUSE- GO BOKKE!!!!!! We are playing the Semi finals in the World Cup on Sunday against Argentina!!! And most South Africans are fanatical about their rugby- as you saw in the advert-LOL,- Oh boy I think I'm going to feel like crap on Monday! hahahahahahaLOL-

I received this AWESOME LO from Silvia yesterday using my Bug-Ing kit! I really am loving all these LO's-

And I did one myself too- hahahaha, My friend Lynne who left me to move to Canada (*pout, Sulk*) sends me pics of the kids and these are some that I could not resist scrapping with my kit!

And what are Water spiders?? I haven't the foggiest idea- ROTFLMAO- it's in the letter that Lynnie sent with them- so I wouldn't have a clue! hahahaha- but the pics were just toooo cute!

Bored yet???- hahahahLOL, I haven't had a marathon post for a while now- so hang on it's nearly done- hahahahaha.
Did I tell you that my CT is just THE BEST!!! BETH LONG has just sent me this most AMAZING AWESOME brag book!! A WHOLE BRAG BOOK I tell you( 6 pages!!) - that she made with my new Bug-Ing kit!!! And we are GIVING IT to all those that leave me the links to their "Bug-ing" LO's!! Yeah- how AWESOME is that- Just send me a link (via e-mail or leave it in the comments section) of a LO you have done using either my kit or the Bug-ing freebie samplers- and I will send you the link to the WHOLE brag book! Thank you sooo sooo much Beth!!!

And here's another little contribution to this now VERY LARGE kit Bug-ing Kit!-ROTF

Some Word art to play around with! And because I don't blog here tomorrow ( heehee, I doubt if I could after tonight anyways-hahahaha) It's just a reminder that you can grab this kit at 25% off still- Don't loose out! Did you make it this far????- hee hee, just for reading my 'yabber yabber' here is the link-http://www.4shared.com/file/26258405/47f0eaf5/kb-bug-ing_wordart.html And I hope you all have a WONDERFUL weekend, be good if you can and be safe too! Sending Loves and hugs your way- Kim

Bug-ger me-LOL

hahaha-ROTF- I swear, I feel like I'm sitting on that iceburg!!* Mrs Miles- next time send the penguines with-hahahaha* , It's been raining since Monday and they keep cutting our electricity because 'they are supposed' to be upgrading the 'stations' here in the Eastern Cape- But *HELLO*- 3 hours at a time is a little much- hahahaha, No lights, it's DARK because of the rain, No computer, no TV, no new books or mags, no Radio (bluck) and well just plain Nothing! hahahaha- I couldn't even get my car out the garage! It works on remote and we haven't finished breaking out the 'contecting door' yet- so I was STUCK!! But maybe that was a good thing- I've been drawing- well you'll see that I did some 'doodly buggers'(hee hee) for my new kit and well I just sat here and drew some other things too! I'm just not used to 'not doing what I want to do'- hahahahaha!


On another note- Kristine (aka the Wench) has a brand new kit that hasn't a name- LOL, and she sent it through to all the DSO designers and her Yahoo group for any suggestions- well Bunny (aka the Boss) sent in one with the 'word' Melons in it- that started off quite a lot of 'yib yab and ribbing' through the group- but to see how this ended you have to read Kristines post today (written as only she can-ROTF) and listen to the AWESOME tracks too and pick up some Humday freebie frames! *still giggling*-hahahaha

Wanna see what I've been *bug-gering* around with- hahahaha. - Well here is my new kit!! A DSO forum member Vikki had been looking for something like this and well I thought it would be a great kit to have FUN with- Fun being the operative word-LOL!



I LOVED doing this kit- and well it's rather large- hahaha- it has 16 papers, and 45 elements!! 9 hand drawn doodle buggie thingy's too. But it is so versatile - LOVED the bright but shabby papers and elements. Has a touch of my realism in it as well- LOL. But honestly you have to check it out HERE- for the other 4 previews so that you can see just what is in it!! I couldn't put them all in the above preview-hahahaha

You can see just how versatile this kit is by what my wonderful CT have sent me!

This is from Jazzy!!! (man it is soooo good to have Jazzy back I tell you!) LOVE IT JAZZ!




This is from Silvia- Gorgeous photo!!!! LOVE IT!! Thanks girlfriend!



And this is from Beth- WOW, I just love my CT!!! But you can see just how different each one looks even with the same kit!! Thanks guys for the hard work!! SENDING HUGS!

Cccccold!

It's snowing again somewhere close and it's freezing- LOL.. just when I thought I could pull out my shorts - I'm looking for the 'jerseys again!"- But the wierdest thing is- We have an ICE BERG floating just off our coastline at the moment!! ICE BERG???? ERR "hello' but this is Sunny South Africa and we have an ICE BERG!!!? They have even put out a 'ships' warning for the thing! Where the hell did it come from?- And it's not small either! Something like 60km wide- HUH?? I will keep a listen out on the 'news' as this really facinates me-

Well my stuffies from my bag are all in the shop- YIPPEE, and a new kit is being quality checked as we speak- (well ok- I speak you read-LOL.), and this one is rather a big one- but I just couldn't take ANYTHING out!! hahahaha- so will have some previews and LO's ready to show it off tomorrow.
And these are ALL 25% off this week! So if you want them grab them now while on sale.


Don't forget Kristine is having 30% off her whole store this week too.

And guess what??- Jazzy sent me a LO- YIPPEEEEE- Jazzy is back! She's not fully recovered yet and is still battling but OH it is soooo good to have Jazzy back on mail again!!! Love Ya Jazzy!

Love the subtle blending of the photo in the back ground!!! Jazz used my Buckle-it-UP and bowed blooms as well as my Sew simple stitching. And Croppy sent me this on too- YAY!!
Crops also used my Buckle it Up and the Fancy Buttons-Gold(recoloured) and the starry ties! AWESOME 'boy' page!! And yeah I know it's Tuesday and I'm supposed to have a tut for you- *giggling behind my hand*- that's before you slap them- LOL, but I've had my hands full doing previews for the new kit I haven't had the time- but I promise to make it up next week. So I thought that seeing you have the *time* you can watch me trying to throw my 'golf partner' out the golf cart- LOL.. This is me playing golf ( well ok- sort off-hahahaha)

And thanks again Olga for the 'tips'.
Mrs Miles- you had better stop laughing now!!! hahahaha- Nathan had to cut it to make it smaller so you can't see me drinking tequila and eating oysters on the hole before- hahahaha.

And here is your freebie for the day- I started this last week to go with all the 'stars' LOL- so you can use it with the overlays and extra's you have. http://www.4shared.com/file/26007017/6aa72c69/kb-starry-template.html Until tomorrow- check you later- hahahaha- Hugs and Loves Kim
